As the saying goes, hindsight is 20/20. It may surprise you that the microchip that we all know and love today was far from an obvious idea. Some of the paths that were being explored back then to ...

The pedagogical model of the integrated circuit goes something like this: take a silicone wafer, etch out a few wells, dope some of the silicon with phosphorous, mask some of the chip off, dope some ...

When Andy Kessler named Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments the inventor of the integrated circuit, a collective groan boomed out of Intel headquarters in Santa Clara, rolled across the Stanford campus ...

Individual transistors made from carbon nanotubes are faster and more energy efficient than those made from other materials. Going from a single transistor to an integrated circuit full of transistors ...

An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip or chip, is a miniaturized electronic circuit consisting of transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other components fabricated onto a single ...

To make stretchable electronics, engineers must start with materials that can tolerate strain. That’s why the ability to endure being stretched is a sought-after quality in flexible electronics, ...

Research in integrated circuits and systems in the CU Boulder Department of Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering is focused on the grand challenge in today’s and future integrated systems, which ...

The global semiconductor and IC packaging materials market generated revenue of USD 48.48 billion in 2025, and is projected to grow to USD 114.28 billion in 2034, according to research conducted by ...

The formal name of the chip. An integrated circuit (IC) combines thousands, millions or billions of transistors on a single substrate. A certain number of resistors and capacitors may also reside on ...

You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...
